Sources of Information To Be Obtained
State Wage Information Collection Agencies. (This consent is
limited to wages and unemployment compensation I have re-
ceived during period(s) within the last 5 years when I have
received assisted housing benefits.)
U.S. Social Security Administration (HUD only) (This consent is
limited to the wage and self employment information and pay-
ments of retirement income as referenced at Section 6103(l)(7)(A)
of the Internal Revenue Code.)
U.S. Internal Revenue Service (HUD only) (This consent is
limited to unearned income [i.e., interest and dividends].)
Information may also be obtained directly from: (a) current and
former employers concerning salary and wages and (b) financial
institutions concerning unearned income (i.e., interest and divi-
dends). I understand that income information obtained from these
sources will be used to verify information that I provide in
determining eligibility for assisted housing programs and the level
of benefits. Therefore, this consent form only authorizes release
directly from employers and financial institutions of information
regarding any period(s) within the last 5 years when I have
received assisted housing benefits.
Authority: Section 904 of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless
Assistance Amendments Act of 1988, as amended by Section 903
of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1992 and
Section 3003 of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993.
This law is found at 42 U.S.C. 3544.
This law requires that you sign a consent form authorizing: (1)
HUD and the Housing Agency/Authority (HA) to request verifi-
cation of salary and wages from current or previous employers; (2)
HUD and the HA to request wage and unemployment compensa-
tion claim information from the state agency responsible for
keeping that information; (3) HUD to request certain tax return
information from the U.S. Social Security Administration and the
U.S. Internal Revenue Service. The law also requires independent
verification of income information. Therefore, HUD or the HA
may request information from financial institutions to verify your
eligibility and level of benefits.
Purpose: In signing this consent form, you are authorizing HUD
and the above-named HA to request income information from the
sources listed on the form. HUD and the HA need this information
to verify your household’s income, in order to ensure that you are
eligible for assisted housing benefits and that these benefits are set
at the correct level. HUD and the HA may participate in computer
matching programs with these sources in order to verify your
eligibility and level of benefits.
Uses of Information to be Obtained: HUD is required to protect
the income information it obtains in accordance with the Privacy
Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a. HUD may disclose information
(other than tax return information) for certain routine uses, such as
to other government agencies for law enforcement purposes, to
Federal agencies for employment suitability purposes and to HAs
for the purpose of determining housing assistance. The HA is also
required to protect the income information it obtains in accordance
with any applicable State privacy law. HUD and HA employees
may be subject to penalties for unauthorized disclosures or im-
proper uses of the income information that is obtained based on the
consent form. Private owners may not request or receive
information authorized by this form.
Who Must Sign the Consent Form: Each member of your
household who is 18 years of age or older must sign the consent
form. Additional signatures must be obtained from new adult
members joining the household or whenever members of the
household become 18 years of age.
